Brazil releases list of 26 players for the U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco

The Brazilian women's team is called up to compete in this year's under-17 World Cup, in Morocco, between October 17th and November 7th. Coach Rilany Silva announced the list of 26 players, which will embark this Sunday (4), at 10pm (Brasília time).

The place in the World Cup was guaranteed in April, with the title of the South American Under-17 Championship, in Paraguay. Those called up for the competition were part of the group of 28 athletes who had been training at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), since September 22nd.

The base of the team called by Rilany plays in football in São Paulo. Corinthians, São Paulo and Ferroviária each have six squads. The list also brings together athletes from Internacional and Flamengo (two from each), as well as two clubs from abroad: Wichita (United States) and Nordsjelland (Denmark).

Ferroviária is the current Brazilian under-17 champion. In this year's decision, the Guerreirinhas Grenás won the title over Internacional, after drawing 4-4 ​​at Arena da Fonte Luminosa, in Araraquara (SP), and winning 2-1 at Passo D'Areia, in Porto Alegre. The games were broadcast live on TV Brasil.

Brazil is in Group C of the World Cup, alongside Canada, Norway and Ghana. The first phase games will be played at the Mohammed VI Football Academy, in Salé, metropolitan region of the Moroccan capital Rabat.

The Brazilian debut will be on October 18th, at 12 pm, against Canada. Three days later, at 3pm, the challenge will be against Ghana. Finally, on the 24th, again at 12pm, the Canary Islands team ends their participation in the group stage, facing Norway.

The Cup brings together 24 teams, divided into six groups with four teams. The top two in each group plus the four best third-placed teams advance to the round of 16.

This will be the 10th edition of the competition, first held in 2008. Until 2024, the tournament took place every two years. From 2025 onwards, it began to be held annually.

In the last edition, in 2025, also played in Morocco, Brazil had the best campaign in history, reaching the semifinals. The Canarian team was eliminated by North Korea, which reached its fourth title, and fell on penalties to Mexico in the game that was worth third place.
